TOY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 517,926, dated April10, 1894.

Application filed April 5, 1893. Serial No. 469,087- (No model.)

To a whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM. H. KLINE, a citizen of the United States,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Toys, which improvement isfully set forth in the following specification and accompanyingdrawings.

My invention relates'to improvements in toys of the order of thoseformed of a disk, and a cord passing through the same near the centerthereof, and a whistle on the side of the disk, said cord being twistedand drawn backward and forward, so that the disk rotates in oppositedirection, and while it may produce a buzzing sound, the whistleisblown, thus adding to the interesting nature of the toy. Owing to theliability of the whistle to be disengaged from the disk, and thusforcibly and inj uriously strike the player, I have formed the whistleintegralwith the disk, and applied a backing thereto,'whereby thewhistle is effective, and the toy islight,strong and durable, andpresents no exposed edge, which otherwise is of a dangerous nature,owing to its liability to cut and tear that with which it comes incontact.

Figure 1 represents a partial side elevation and partial perspectiveview of a whistling toy embodying my invention. Fig. 2 represents adiametrical section of the body of the toy, and a side elevation of thecord thereof.

Similar letters of reference indicate corretlOH, a flat peripheralportion, integral-consponding parts in the two figures.

Referring to the drawings: A designates the body of the toy, the sameconsisting of a metallic disk B, portions of which are struck-up inconvex form as at O, and having openings D inthe centers thereof.

E designates a disk of pasteboard or other light material, which isplaced back of the disk B, and its periphery is embraced by the rim F ofthe disk B, said rim being turned over said periphery forming a flatedge, and is clinched on the outer side so as as to be flush therewith.It will be seen that the disk E while in contact with those portions ofthe disk B, which are notstruck-up, closes the backs of the perforatedconvexities 0, forming whistles of the same.

Passing through openings in the disks nea the centers thereof, are cordsG, which are twisted and their ends drawn outwardly, and then permittedto approach each other, thus unwinding and winding, whereby the body ofthe toy is rotated in opposite directions. This causes the body to makea buzzing noise, and the whistles to blow, thus producing an interestingtoy, it being evident that the disk B may be made of thin metal, and thedisk E of lighter material, the two disks being united as one, forming astrong body, while the whistles are integral with the disk B,and add butslight weight to the same, while they are not liable to break or flyoff, and serve in great measure as crimps, which greatly stiffen thedisk. The central openings of the disks are providedwith eyelets orbushings H, of

A metallic disk having a flat central porvexities between the center andperiphery, and an inturned rim in combination with a flat backing whichrests against the central and peripheral portions of said disk, coversthe rear of the convexities and has its peripheral portion embraced bysaid rim, the central portions of the disk and backing having anoperating cord passed through them, all'as described.
